Administrative council
cuts new dormitory rent,
adjusts rebate amounts
Rents were lowered and rebates
increased by a decision of the ad-ministrative
council late yesterday
afternoon. The . decision came on
the heels of continued student agi-tation
and responsive action by
the dean's office.
The administrative council, con-sisting
of the president and four
vice-presidents of Bethel College
and Seminary, leveled rent at a
uniform $137.50 per semester for
all dormitories. Rent for the new
residences was initially set at
$162.50 per term, despite a strong
feeling in the Student Services
Office that rents should be uni-form.
Rebates had been set earlier this
month for students denied services
or facilities covered by their rent-al
payment because of the delay
in completion of the Arden Hills
dormitory and the resultant hous-ing
problems.
Yesterday's decision increased
rebates for those students caught
in interim housing, and for the
Edgren residents who shared their
rooms with temporary occupants.
The increase in rebates is in addi-tion
to the twenty-five dollars
per semester cut in rent charges
for new dormitory residents.
The decision of the administra-tive
council follows the recommen-dation
of a group of students and
administrative personnel which met
a week ago last Tuesday. This
meeting was called by a member
Thursday, October 17, 1968 of the administrative committee,
Dr. Virgil Olson, the new Vice
President and Dean of the College,
following the Clarion's editorials
on the rent and rebate question in
the paper's October 4 edition. Dean
Olson, representatives of Dean of
Students Office, new dorm council
members, student senate officers,
and Clarion editors attended the
session.
Earlier the Board of Education
had authorized the administration
to review charges for the new dor-mitory
during its fall session on
campus. A resultant recommenda-tion
from the Student Services Of-fice
proposing minimal rebates and
no adjustment in the established
rental schedules provoked the fi-nal
round of action on the prob-lem,
culminating in the decision
of the administrative council.
Rent for the new dormitory
suites was cut twenty dollars from
the original charge of two hundred
in addition to the lowering of rent
for regular rooms. Rebates were
increased from two dollars to two-fifty
for women put in school pro-vided
interim housing and for all
men affected by temporary hous-ing
in Edgren.
New dorm residents providing
their own interim housing will be
refunded seven dollars and fifty
cents weekly, which is the colt
of housing from the revised rent
schedule.
Target date for occupancy of
the new residence has now been
pushed back from September 7 to
October 1 to October 12 and 23
(for women and men respectively)
to November 23. Officials hope

contending for class, senate posts
Primary narrows frosh hopfuls New Folk sing in Monday chapel
Freshmen will decide tomorrow
which class office and Student Sen-ate
candidates will continue to
the final election on Friday, Oc-tober
25.
The primary election tomorrow
will narrow the number of candi-dates
to two for each office and
ten for the Senate. The final elec-tion,
a week from tomorrow, will
establish one person in each class
office and five in the Senate.
The men dominate the number
one slot this year with Mark Stew-ard,
Bill Kunde, and Bill Anker-berg
as Presidential rivals.
Hoping to fill the vice-presiden-cy
are Gerry Fair, Marty Mauk,
Jan Christianson, and Callie De-
Voe.
Seven girls, Hastings, Car-rie
Kienitz, Sandy Peterson, Betsy
Skotte, Grace Trude and Norma
Wilcox, will compete for class sec-retary.
Becky Hopf and Darleen Salkaw-ske
will pass the primary opposing
each other for Treasurer.
As far as the Senate is concerned
the ten senate candidates will by-pass
the primary election. All ten
candidates will proceed to the final
election next Friday.
Senatorial candidates are Dave
Barnhart, Tom Ford, Sue Frost,
Leland Grandlund, Diane Lund-berg,
Steve Marquardt, Jon Olan-der,
Anne Polson and Wendell
Wahlin.
On both election days the voting
will be from noon until four
o'clock. Leonard Sammons, Chair-man
of the Election Board, reminds
students that votes are invalid be-fore
or after this time and that
any ballot is invalid showing any
mark by the voter other than an
X in the designated place. This
follows the Bethel election code.
Students will vote for one and
only one candidate for each class
office and any number of sena-torial
candidates up to and includ-ing
five. No voter is obligated to
vote for more than one senator.
Various complications in pre-vious
years have led the Senate
this year to pass an appeal for
the addition of a clause to the
present election code requiring a
candidate for class office to get
at least forty percent of the vote
cast to win a final election.
If two candidates each have more
than forty percent of the votes
cast the higher percentage wins.
If, however, a write-in candidate
should attract enough votes so
that none of the three has the re-quired
minimum the two highest
would compete in a "final final"
election to determine the winner.
This involves class offices only.
Students will vote on this meas-ure
tomorrow from noon until 4
p.m. If passed by the students it
will be in effect for the final
Frosh elections on the 25th.
The New Folk East, presenting the message of
Jesus Christ through song at major colleges and uni-versity
campuses across the nation, will present a
40 minute concert here during Monday chapel.
"We are telling the world—especially the colle-giate
world—that Jesus Christ is relevant to life today
and that he offers a solution—the only workable solu-tion—
to the world's problems," says Bob Horner,
leader of the New Folk West.
The New Folk are divided into two groups, one
of which travels in the eastern section of the United
States, and the other in the western section.
They sing a variety of music, including a number
of Simon and Garfunkel songs; songs written by Jim
Webb and made popular by Glen Campbell—such as
"By the Time I Get to Phoenix"—and smooth ballads.
The second half of the program is made up of
spiritual music, most of which was composed by New
Folk members.
The group seeks to identify with students and their
problems, and to explain that the solution to those
problems is in Christ.
They share personally from the experiences of
their own lives. Through the medium of song, they
attempt to describe the world situation and realistic
solutions by presenting their faith in Christ.
The response to this liberating message has been
very positive all over the country as literally thou-sands
of students have expressed their desire to sur-render
their lives to Jesus Christ, said Horner.
The New Folk are part of the traveling staff of
Campus Crusade for Christ International.
The New Folk East will present a concert Monday during Bethel's chapel period in
the fieldhouse.

Your Fear of Love" towards problems of alcoholism
by Jon Fagerson
Your Fear Of Love, Marshall Bryant Hodge
We fear the freedom of being ourselves; we fear the exposure of
self that love requires; and so we live cramped lives of self hate. Mar-shall
Hodge sees the way out of this vicious circle through accepting
oneself so that one may accept others (love your neighbor as yourself).
His comments on the church are appropriate for Bethel. If we
heed them, perhaps we can discover the meaning of Christian community:
. .. the church has a rather poor record in helping people experi-ence
the love of which so much is spoken. Despite lip service to the
primacy of love in human relationships, the church, by and large,
tends in practice to see moral value primarily in terms of external
behaviour rather than in terms of the experience of love. As a
result of this approach, _religious groups often appear to be con-cerned
primarily with judging people . . .
As a result, the experience of being accepted, loved, and en-joyed
as a person, irrespective of externals, is probably a rare ex-perience
in the church. And so the doors to the experience and
expression of love are often rather effectively shut. And they are
pushed shut under the guise of being lovingly concerned for the
welfare and happiness, both present and eternal, of the individual!
Senate in action
Taylor defines
by Maurice Zaffke
The Senate unanimously ap-proved
a memorandum of Student
Association President Greg Taylor
stating the Association financial
policy. The measure requested that
two per-cent of the college tuition
be directly turned over to the As-sociation
treasury upon collection.
Presently the "student tax" is
received through tuition charges
and approximates the two per-cent
requested. Taylor stressed that this
money would be deposited in A
commercial bank and controlled by
the Association treasure.
Taylor stated that the need for
such a measure was demonstrated
by the extreme difficulty of en-gaging
in even routine financial
transactions under the present sys-tem.
The failure of the business
office to keep the Senate informed
on its financial status and the in-herent
control the College has over
the Association through purse con-trol
constitute other reasons for
change.
WASHINGTON (BPA) — Church
spokesmen advocated a new stra-tegy
on the problems of drinking
during the 28th International Con-gress
on Alcohol and Alcoholism
here.
Bishop James K. Mathews of
the United Methodist Church de-scribed
the new strategy developed
among some church groups as
comprehensive, interdisciplinary
and ecumenical.
"The old legalistic-moralistic at-titude
is fading," Bishop Mathews
told delegates to the world's lar-gest
scientific meeting on altohol
and alcoholism. This attitude is
being replaced by a new freedom
of choice for the individual and
active involvement in society, he
explained.
Mathews said the Church's new
strategy sees the total person in
society and the inter-relatedness of
various alcohol problems. The re-ligious
community, according to
the Methodist leader, is seeking
the opportunity for a healthy
wholeness of life for everyone.
"The concern is for man, for the
whole man and for man to be
truly whole. It is this spirit, I
think, that exemplifies the Church
today at its best. . ." It is this
that should cause the Church to
understand "with both head and
heart" all the problems which be-set
humanity, he said.
The new stance among some
church groups, one that other pro-fessionals
arrived at earlier, is
based on the concept that alcohol
is a problem to man because man
is a problem to himself.
A particular illustration of this
came in the section of the con-gress
studying the problems of
young alcoholics. "Problem drink-ers"
among adolscents are more
often "problem people," according
to the findings presented.
by Chuck Myrbo
Even in an old-church-turned-local-
theater, with amateur actors
and actresses and uncomfortable
seats that look a little bare without
their hymnal racks, Shakespeare
can shine through. He does shine
quite often in the Eastside Theater
production of "Measure For Mea-sure,"
but not quite as brightly as
he should.
"Measure for Measure" is a com-edy
about a good man turned bad
by sudden power. The theater bills
his situation as relevant by putting
drawings of Humphrey, Nixon and
Wallace in the program, but they
take most of the significance out of
the play by turning it into a farce.
Lines and characters are milked
for every possible laugh and then
one more for good measure. The
kind of pratfalls and character
traits that went over big in high
school get even bigger laughs. The
characters turn into caricatures
under the strain.
Resignations of two student sen-ators,
Wayne Eller and Leonard
Sammons, have created two vacan-cies
for senator-at-large. A pri-mary
election tomorrow will trim
the seven hopefuls for the open-ings
to four candidates for the
final election October 28.
"I have decided to resign for
five types of reasons," Sammons
explained: "personal, political, so-

Center on Alcohol in News Bruns-wick,
N. J., said adolescent prob-lem
drinkers are "likely to be
problem people whose difficulties
center around their impulsivity,
need for excitement and some form
of aggressive and antisocial be-havior."
In a majority of case studies,
the youthful alcoholic has per-sonality
disorders, often of a se-vere
degree. Many were found to
have poor family relationships.
They were described as generally
hostile toward their fathers and
as having close relationships with
their mothers.
From the outset, many of the
young alcoholics first started
drinking to relieve symptoms such
as loneliness, shyness, depression
and frustration.
The study of this group suggest-ed
that traditional efforts directed
toward changing attitudes about
drinking would be "completely in-effective"
with such persons.
"Instead it (education) should
focus more on . . . life experiences
with the ultimate goal of allowing
them to achieve satisfaction in
other ways . . ." their report sta-ted.
•
Dr. Morris Chafetz, a psychiatrist
and director of the Alcohol Clinic
at Massachusetts General Hospital,
agreed that alcoholism is really
"a symptom of psychological and
social abnormalities." He described
it as a "complex problem that
doesn't fit into a nice, neat pack-age."
The Church's strategy, according
to Bishop Mathews, must see the
interrelatedness of all alcohol
problems from teen age drinking,
family disorders and health on to
traffic safety, legal controls and

public attitudes toward drinking
and abstinence.
The American church leader
urged clergymen to work on these
issues at state and national levels
as well as in local areas with pub-lic
and other religious groups and
agencies. He asked especially for
more unity among churches "in
understanding and action" on al-cohol-
related problems.
"The religious community simply
cannot afford splintered and con-tradictory
approaches if it is to
have any impact on these issues,"
he emphasized.
Another church spokesman, John
C. Ford, S. J., professor of pastoral
theology at Weston College in Mas-sachusetts
proposed that expon-ents
of total abstinence and moder-ate
use come to terms on "the com-mon
ground of Christian sobrie-ty."
The Jesuit priest said he recog-nized
that "this is not possible in
some denominations." But, he ob-served,
there "is no intrinsic rea-son
why two social-religious move-ments,
one for total abstinence and
one for virtuous moderation,
should not work side by side as
friendly allies in a common cause."
Earlier, Ford said it seemed to
him that one of the most funda-mental
problems for church edu-cators
is the development of a
rationale with regard to the rela-tionship
between what he called
"chemical comfort" and Christian
virtue.
He emphasized the need for this
view of the increasing drug orien-tation
of our culture and what ap-pears
to be an increase in various
forms of flights from reality.
The Catholic theologian urged a
study of a whole list of "chemical
comforters" from tea and coffee,
through tobacco down to tranquil-izers,
barbiturates and narcotics
and their relationship to Christian
virtue.

financial policy
The financial control became
more than de facto in the planning
of this year's Homecoming. The
business office attempted to force
the Taylor government to function
under the specifics of a budget
established under the Hammer ad-ministration.
The Student Association execu-tive
was not disputing over the to-tal
budgeted to the Association but
over particulars of that budget in
which non-Association personhel
should have no right to interfere.
The real significance of this mat-ter
is found not in the memoran-dum
but in an assumption upon
which it is based. Briefly in this
move the Senate declares that it
is interdependently autonomous in
relation to the rest of the Bethel
community.
It is elected by the association
and is responsible to it through
election, recall, pressure, audit, and
whatever other means a group has
of regulating their representatives

Nixon paid tribute to Sen. Eu-gene
McCarthy for "energizing the
young" and told them that the
Republican party "will give you a
chance" if you feel rejected by
the other party. He also said that
the party would listen to these
young followers, and not just toler-ate
them.
One of the biggest responses
came when he stated, "The Amer-ican
flag is not going to be a
doormat for anybody when we get
into office."
More prolonged applause came
when he promised to replace At-torney
General Ramsey Clark with
someone who has more spine to

country, he said, "not because of
what the government did for the

"We want Nixon!" "Peace and
Freedom." "WE WANT NIXON!!!"
Such were the responses of the
crowd to Richard M. Nixon, the
Republican presidential candidate
during his appearance at the Min-neapolis
Auditorium last Tuesday
evening. This campaign appearance
is another of a series of attempts
by Nixon to embarass Democrat
Hubert Humphrey by defeating
him in his home state.
Over 10,000 rain soaked enthu-siasts,
including some 75 Bethel-ites,
jammed the auditorium and
provided the candidate with some
of the greatest spirit of the cam-paign
trail.
In response to some hecklers in
the crowd, the Nixon supporters
literally shouted them out of the
Auditorium. Nixon said that the
police did not need to eject any
of the hecklers because, "In ,a
Nixon crowd, in contrast to a
Humphrey crowd the crowd drowns
out the hecklers."
Nixon, in his standard campaign
speech, characterized the Democra-tic
candidate as "the most expen-sive
senator in United States his-tory."
Humphrey, from 1949 to
1961 "beat the drums to have Con-gress
spend $100 billion more than
it actually spent in those year."
Nixon declared that if Humphrey
were elected, he would be "far and
away the most expensive president
in United States history."
Nixon also emphasized higher
taxes, a continued gold drain, high-er
inflation, skyrocketing interest
rates and a higher cost of living
if his opponent is elected.

that the federal tax rate and fed-eral
spending are too high and
should come down. It is time, he
said, that "we left more of the

Campus needs
is here.
What's that? I.V. stands for In-ter
Varsity, and started on Bethel
campus because students rarely get
to know each other well. Through
Christian fellowship I.V. helps stu-dents
become personally involved
with others around them. Other
campuses such as Macalester and
the University of Minnesota also
have Inter Varsity groups.
The I.V. meetings are informal
get-togethers. Sometimes the lar-ger
group divides into small groups
of about five students to facilitate
discussion.
These small groups are called
"Fell" groups, short for Fellowship
groups. Often films are shown and
provocative persons speak.
I.V. will sponsor hayrides and
progressive dinners throughout the
year. The time and date of each
meeting will be announced. All
that is needed to join Inter Varsity
is attendance at the meetings.
Inter Varsity is featuring a re-cent
graduate of the University of
Minnesota who graduate with high
honors in music and writes her
own folksongs.
New approach
from page 2
In making a plea for Christian
sobriety, he said there is a "ra-ther
nice line to be drawn between
a use of pleasures which is legi-timate
and Christ-like, and a use
of pleasures which is hedonistic
and excessive."
This approach is especially im-portant
for any kind of preventive
program among young people, the
priest said. Few young persons
would be motivated toward total
abstinence because of some far-off
possibility of becoming alcoholics,
he pointed out.
He urged church educators to
direct their efforts toward the
"positive, immediate and explicit"
aim of the practice of the virtue
of sobriety rather than at the pre-vention
of the sickness of alcohol-ism.
The Jesuits' Estates Question, 1760-1888, a new
book by Dr. Roy C. Dalton, is being published by the,
University of Toronto Press. Dalton, known casually as
"Doc" by many students, holds the chairmanship of
the Bethel History Department.
The book interprets a portion of the history of
the Jesuit Order in Canada, especially in Quebec.
Although the Jesuits, 1760-1888, and even Canada it-self
may seem rather far removed from the Bethel
present, Dalton reports that there are many similari-ties
between the agitation for which he provides the
background and the Joseph McCarthy era or the
Kennedy campaign of 1960.
Dalton noted that one of the personalities involved
in the situation had the name Dalton McCarthy, an
association "Doc" is not sure he appreciates.
Dalton's interest in Canadian history developed
in his graduate study at the University of Minnesota.
In fact this book represents an amplification of his
doctoral dissertation.
Although "Doc" did original research in Canada,
much of his work was accomplished here through
the Bethel Library. The Ottawa Public Archives loaned
microfilm copies of documents that originated in Lon-don
to the Bethel Library making it possible for
Dalton to read these statements in his own Bethel
office.
Dalton resolved the writer's perennial problem
of financing by gaining the backing of the Social
Science Research Council of Canada. They have un-derwritten
The Jesuits' Estates Question as part of a
series on Canadian history and government being
published by the University of Toronto Press.
Although the study of church-state relations occu-pies
an important place in a Christian liberal arts
college, Dalton promised not to make it required
reading for any of his courses—with one exception.
His class of one student, John Cowan, in Readings In
Canadian History, must read the book.
"Doc" also hinted that perhaps someone should
tell Mr. Rosell ( a new history teacher) that the chair-man
of his department released a new book and that
it might not be unwise to read it.
Dalton does not expect The Jesuits' Estates Ques-tion
to become a best seller but he is encouraged to
hear that the Bethel Bookstore has confidence in his
selling power and has ordered two copies—one for
Cowan and one for Rosell.
Regardless of how many Bethelites purchase the
book, all will not be loss. Dalton expects his work
to sell well as a supplementary text on Catholic cam-puses.
If such becomes the actual case the next story
on the book should be entitled "Bethel Teacher Writes
Texts for Catholic Colleges."
Ed. Note: This independent column is prepared by an editorial
board currently composed of four Bethel alumni: Malcolm Avey,
Jim Brand, Al Brown, and Rich Runbeck.
"Moderation" or "the balanced life" are Christian values
of long-standing; yet they are impediments to the unobstructed
development of healthy personalities. Such is the implication
Gordon Allport makes in his theory on personality found in his
book, Becoming.
In this theory, Allport achieves a breakdown of the fac-tors
in personality. He maintains, firstly, that the personality
has two dimensions 1) the opportunistic, and 2) the proprium.
The opportunistic aspect of personality is all that we
have learned and acquired which is important to our function-ing,
such as habits and skills, but which are peripheral to the
core of our existence. Someone knowing that part of me still
would not know the real me, what makes me me.
Within the proprium, however, lie all the other personality
factors which are warm and important and unique to me,
which knowing them, another person knows me and I know
me. Important among these is the ego-extension factor.
A person who is ego-extended is one who has developed
larger loyalties and interests and has become self-involved
in these. He is a highly unified personality and he has allowed
himself to go doggedly into some particular ideology, and has
adapted his life, his dress, his behavior, in accordance with
this new loyalty. All his ego-extension, (dress, behavior, values)
bespeak the kind of person he is.
Now to restate the original point: "moderation" or "the
balanced life" are serious impediments to full and complete
ego-extension and thus, a unified personality.
In what sense is this true? In the sense that "moderation"
dictates a very narrow range of approvable behavior, and in
this way, limits an individual's freedom to explore and become
self-involved.
Where moderation is practiced, any behavior, value, or
life-style different from the approved middle range is immedi-ately
under suspicion.
To specify, we are all well aware of the disapproving
stigmas which have stymied the progress of drama and the
theater in conservative circles. The same disapproval and cau-tion
have also been a plague to the art world, not to mention
the other areas within and without academia which require
a free and experimental spirit.
The call to moderation has in essence resulted in a pop-ulation
of fettered spirits, persons whose own growth has
been stunted by the confinement of these dictates.

WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR?, the theme of Bethel
Homecoming 1968, is a question taken from Luke 10,
the parable of the Good Samaritan. The answer is
given by Jesus as he relates the story of a man, beaten
and robbed.
Two men stop and look but pass by on the other
side. But a certain Samaritan took pity on him and in-volved
himself.
`Who is my neighbor' is a question asked again to-day
in an age of Christian complacency. It is asked
in the face of a world that needs our answer.
God calls us to a problem, not programs, in which
we will find our ministries . . . problems which capti-vate
our minds and imaginations and motivate us to
give our lives to try to bring Christ's vision of wholeness
to situations and people, as we begin to see them from
His perspective.
The Friday and Saturday evening programs will
deal directly with the question and answer.
Pep-Fire opens festivities
A Pep-Fire on the new campus will kickoff 1968 Homecoming
festivities tonight at 8 p.m. The first of events is the Queen Corona-tion
in front of the majestic Sem Library. The M.C. will be Tom Messaros,
accompanied by a male quartet consisting of Pat Schonbachler, Dale
Saxon, John Cowan and Leroy Mattson.
Next on the agenda is the pep fest around the old traditional bon
fire with much cheering and psyching up for Saturday's game when the
Scalpers get wamped. Chuck Myrbo will then initiate a tug-of-war
between the classes. The winning class will be privileged to swing forth
on Saturday at half-time to tug with the alumni.
The evening will terminate with a delightful barbeque, which will
be served on the lawn. No doubt hunger will have struck by this time
in the evening of events.
Betty Creighton is in charge of Thursday evening's festivities and
Wibby Smith of the coronation.
Seniors Tim Gibson, Dan Johnson, Steve Smith, and
Mike Scandrett burn the midnight oil preparing the senior
class float for display during Saturday's activities.

Judd speaks Saturday
Dr. Walter H. Judd, for twenty
years a Minnesota representative
in Congress, will speak Saturday
evening on the Homecoming theme
of "Who is my neighbor?" The pro-gram
begins at 8 p.m. in the field-house
and includes a performance
by the college choir.
Judd, born in Rising City, Neb-raska,
worked his way through col-lege
and medical school at the
University of Nebraska prior to
orld War I. He then enlisted as
an army private during the war.
attaining the rank of lieutenant in
the Field Artillery by the time he
was discharged from service.
In 1925, under the Foreign Mis-sion
Board of the Congregational
Church, Judd went to South China
as a medical missionary. Repeated
attacks of malaria forced his return
to the United States in 1931.
Upon his return, Judd toured
American churches and colleges,
speaking on the expanding threat
of communism and Japanese mil-tarism
in China. In 1932, after re-covering
his health, he received a
Fellowship in surgery at the Mayo
Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
Judd returned to Asia in 1934,
this time to North China where
there was no malaria. He came un
der Japanese control for five
months when Japan's armies cep-tured
this area.
He returned home in 1938, con-vinced
that the growing Japanese
war machine must be checked.
Judd carried that message to more
than 1400 audiences in 46 states
during the following two years.
In January of 1941, he resumed
medical practice in Minneapolis
but decided to run for Congress
after Pearl Harbor brought the
U. S. into World War II. He was
elected in 1942 and served for
twenty years as the representative
from Minnesota's Fifth District be-fore
being defeated in 1962 by tha
current incumbent, DFLer Donald
Fraser.
Twenty-five universities and col-leges
have confered honorary doc-torate
degrees on Judd. In a 1962
Congressional poll, he was voted
one of the five most influential
members of the House by his col-leagues.
Judd, who gave the keynote ad-dress
at the 1960 Republican Na-
Vonal Convention in Chicago, be-fore
a radio and TV audience of
some sixty million Americans, is
currently a contributing editor of
Reader's Digest and also provides
a brief daily commentary on world
events for 1100 radio stations.
He has apepared on many nation-vide
radio and TV programs, and
continues to speak to interested
groups all over the country, par-ticularly
in college and university
communities.
Karl Karlson "Alumnus of the Year" Homecoming court views
roles in weekend activity by Margie Whaley
A unique tie with Bethel College
and Seminary, as well as wide no-toriety
in his field of medical prac-tice,
distinguish Dr. Karl E. Karl-son,
M. D. from New York, who is
to be a special guest of honor here
this weekend.
Officials of the Bethel Alumni
Association have enthusiastically
announced Dr. Karlson as its selec-tion
for Bethel's fourth annual
"Alumnus of the Year" award.
Dr. Karlson, professor of sur-gery
and chief of thoracic surgery
at Downstate Medical Center of
the University of New York, is
expected to arrive Friday for
homecoming Alumni activities dur-ing
which he is to accept the 1968
award and title.
This "Alumnus of the Year"
spent most of his boyhood years
almost on Bethel's doorstep. He is
the son of the late Karl J. Karlson,
who was a professor at Bethel Sem-inary
in 1922-25 and dean of the
seminary in 1925-48. Dr. Karlson
lived with his family at 1374 N.
Simpson St., attended St. Paul
schools and graduated from Mech-anic
Arts High School.
After attending Bethel's then-two-
year College in 1938-39, Dr.
Karlson transferred to the Univer-sity
of Minnesota in order to train
in his chosen field of medicine.
He received his bachelor of sci-ence
degree in 1942, his M. B. from
the University's Medical School
Dr. Karl E. Karlson
and his M.D. in 1945. Dr. Karlson's
internship was in straight surgery
and his residency in surgery at
the University of Minnesota Hos-pitals.
In 1952 he completed graduate
school and received his Ph.D with
a major in surgery and a minor in
pathology.
Dr. Karlson, a specialist in
heart and chest surgery, has con-tributed
to that field which has
been in the forefront of recent
medical history. Along with a
team of colleagues under the lea-dership
of Dr. Clarence Dennis,
Dr. Karlson is noted for having
worked on the development of the
first artificial heart and lung. He
wrote his doctorate thesis and dis-sertation
on the subject.
He served two years as medical
officer with the U. S. Navy and
was stationed in thoracic surgery
in the U. S. Navy Hospital at St.
Albans, Long Island, New York,
from 1954-56.
Besides holding positions at the
State University of New York
Downstate Medical Center since
1951, Dr. Karlson has served as
consultant and visiting surgeon for
numerous hospitals and medical
centers in New York. He also
travels extensively, lecturing for
various conventions and medical
organizations.
Dr. Karlson has been a member
of the Central Advisory Commit-tee,
Council on Cardiovascular Sur-gery
of the American Heart As-sociation
since 1962; he was pres-ident
of the Brooklyn Thoracic
Society in 1964-65; he is treasurer
of the International Cardiovascular
Society; he has served as member
and officer of the New York Sur-gical
Society and the New York
Society for Cardiovascular Sur-gery;
and he holds memberships
in Alpha Omega Alpha and many
other medical societies.
Among his outstanding accom-plishments
in the field of medicine
include about 100 publications and
textbooks which he has authored
or co-authored.
In spite of his busy schedule,
Dr. Karlson has remained active
in the Baptist General Conference
and actively interested in Bethel
College and Seminary.
His conference activities include
vice chairman and deacon in the
Trinity Baptist Church, N. Y. C.,
and moderator and member of the
executive board of the Mid-Atlan-tic
Conference. Dr. Karlson also
served five years as a member of
the Foreign Mission Board and was
a member of the trustee Board
of the Baptist General Confer-ence.
In his church, Dr. Karlson has
taught the .. college-age Sunday
School class and has even filled
the pulpit upon occasional absence
of the pastor.
Dr. Karlson has also provided
a scholarship each year to a Bethel
Seminarian for graduate studies,
in hopes that the students will
contribute to the work of the Con-ference.
The father of six children, Dr.
Karlson is married to the former
Gloria Anderson, also a Bethel
Alumnus. The Karlsons and their
11-year-old daughter and five sons,
ranging from 3 to 16 years old,
live in Pelham Manor, New York.
Each year the family spends about
a month at their summer home at
Rush Lake in northern Minnesota.
Dr. Karlson's mother, 99, is a
patient at the Golden Age Home
in St. Paul. His sister, Phyllis
Karlson, a designer and a former
home economics teacher at Min-nehaha
Academy, lives in the Karl-sons'
former family home.
One of Dr. Karlson's closest
friends is Dr. Gordon Johnson,
dean of Bethel Seminary, who at-tended
St. Paul schools and one
year at the University with Karl-son.
Dr. Karlson is described by Dr.
Johnson as a person with "genuine
modesty and real dedication to the
work of the church . . . the kind
of person who doesn't wear his
Christianity on his sleeve but is
admired for his solid Christian
stability."
Saturday morning they walked
into the Coffee Shop, chitchatting
busily about something. One of
them left to find the fifth member
but returned alone.
"What was your reaction when
you found out?"
"About what?"
"About getting n—"
"Oh, that. I said, 'Are you kid-ding
me?!' "
"When I walked over and saw it,
I couldn't believe it!"
"They called my roomie, and her
comment was, 'Gee . . "
"All I could say was 'Huh?!'
when they told me."
Speaking about reactions, I won-der
how our other friend took it."
"Ha, ha, she probably slept right
through it."
With all this lightness, one might
wonder how important this meet-ing
was. Four of them gathered
around a booth and began scrib-bling
something on a piece of pa-per.
Then one began making little
gestures.
"We could have it like this with
this line."
"We'll get the same but different
colors."
"How 'bout velvet?"
"Ah, velvet! But I don't have
any money!"
"And we'll all wear curls."
"But I don't have any hair!"
These are our candidates for
Homecoming Queen, discussing the
feminine angles of their weekend's
appearance. Selected from the Sen-ior
Class are Kathy Anderson and
Chris Froelich and from the Junior
Class, Jackie Goodman, Miriam
Kling, and Carol Larsen.

Unfinished dorm reminds
`old timers' of '46 delays
Bethel male goes cattin' around Thursday, October 17, 1968
by Jeanne Scaholm
"Well, when I was a boy . . ."
Sound familiar? It's that monoto-nous
phrase we hear so often from
our dads. But it could be the voice
of a freshman's father who attend-ed
Bethel in 1946.
What we're going through now
isn't unique. It's a replay of the
housing situation in 1946 when the
veterans returning from the war
boosted Bethel's enrollment. At
that time Edgren and Hagstrom
residences were being completed,
and the students were subjected
to greater inconveniences than
they face now.
The fellows were hearded into
a large, white 4-H barn in the Fair-grounds
where they spent the first
six weeks. To forget the cold at-mosphere
of the barn, which had
no heat nor study space, Perry
Hedberg, a student at this time,
said that the fellows "engaged in
more horseplay." Affectionately
their dorm was called "Hotel El
Barno."
When the second and third floors
of Edgren were ready for occupan-cy,
"El Barno" was vacated. Those
fellows slated to room on Edgren's
first floor were wedged into the
basement of the Seminary build-ing.
Classrooms were on the first
floor and housing for Seminarians
was on the second floor. The po-tential
Edgren fellows had double-deck
bunks in room No. 3, and
their laundry room was S6.
"They (the veterans) were
chomping at the bit to get in
some kind of situation. Really they
were disappointed. They had been
in service and now wanted school-ing,
comfort, and convenience,"
Hedberg noted.
There was no room between the
bunks and no closet space_ in the
Seminary basement. Doc Dalton,
also a student at the time, termed
it "suitcase living." He compared
"El Barno" and the Seminary base-ment
to "moving right back into
the Army."
When all the students finally
settled on campus, the atmosphere
was bleak. There was no field-house,
no library, and the weather
was cold and rainy.
Hagstrom was then the married
couples' apartment building, and
the construction there was just
as unpleasant. Since the workmen
worked during the day, all conven-iences
and facilities were turned
off except for an hour at noon. If
the couples wanted to cook coffee
or turn on a lamp to study, they
had to go elsewhere to find electri-city.
The heating for Hagstrom origi-nated
from the boiler room be-hind
the Seminary building. It
was inefficient for heating the
whole building, and consequently
some families had to suffer. Con-sider,
for instance, the couple with
a baby who woke up every morn-ing
in a fifty-four degree room.
A student overheard the dorm
supervisor and an office member
discussing the financial end of
the inconvenience. The supervisor
said that the fellows would expect
a rebate, and the office worker
said that if the fellows didn't say
anything, it would be overlooked.
Dana Larson, father of Jonathan
P. and Tim, lived in Hagstrom in
1946. His family and two others
were considered "oldsters," having
been around Bethel longer. They
decided to draw up a petition to
gain a rebate for the conconven-ient
housing.
After the petition was signed
and turned in, the three instiga-tors
appeared before the board
and obtained a hearing. The result
was a very minimal rebate which
wasn't claimed. The Edgren fel-lows
were able to collect a small
reimbursement also, although they
didn't petition.
It's a coincidence that a simi-lar
dorm deadline is being relived
a generation later, and it's inter-esting
to compare the likenesses
and differences of the two exper-iences.
Some day perhaps we'll
echo, "Well, when I was a boy . . ."
Girls, protest! If the Edgren guys bore you, turn to the Eagle guys
for excitement! Russell (Rusty to those who know him) conned the S.S.
into letting him live in the Manoi 'midst all those beautiful girls. But
why should they be the lucky ones?
From all appearances, Rusty is no tougher than any other Bethel
Boys, which doesn't say much. He's of average size, has long red hair
and mustache, is firmly built and doesn't talk much, but I've been told
that he hunts fast. Get in there with his prey!
As he seldom hangs around campus and never sits through chapel
(don't tell the dean), Rusty must be sought after in his favorite hang-outs.
One of them is the Como Zoo where he goes quite often to talk
with the animals Doctor Doolittle style. (He is a little wierd in that
respect.) Most often he can be found prowling along the halls of the Man-or
looking for handouts.
Rusty is no exception to the stomach-to-heart rule. His favorites
include spaghetti, pizza, pumpkin pie with whipped cream, peanut
butter, and broccoli with butter. This guy is a big eater, girls, so get
movin' and start cookin'.
If at first sight Rusty doesn't grab you as being the All-American
type male, give him time. After all, how cool can a cat be?
"Us Bethel guys stick to-gether!"
IT'S HERE!
"It's a hard life."
Ed Note : Rusty belongs to Dr. and Mrs.
Dale Stephens, house parents at Eagle
Manor. Dr. Stephens teaches chemistry
at Bethel.

"Venice of the North" or the "surprising city" both typically
characterize Amsterdam, in the heart of Holland. I like to think
of Amsterdam as creating for itself its qualities of human resources
which have actually built up the country's productive land.
The fabled wooden shoes, cheese, and tulips, have long since
lost their environment in this city. Amsterdam of today still re-lates
back to the 17th century "Golden Age" of Dutch colonialism
but she lives in the 20th century.
From the tallest modern skyscraper overlooking the old canal
mansions to the congestion of traffic over the canal bridges, this is
Amsterdam today. The city is a crossroads by water and air for
Europe to the outside trading world. Amsterdam prospers with its
modern business and industrial resources and developments but
lags between in modern ideas of public living conditions.
An hour long boat trip through the polluted canals in the city
will prove interesting for your vital senses of smell and sight.
Even so they are "cleaned" twice a day with the opening up of sea
gates for fresh sea water.
Of interest to most visitors in Amsterdam is the great collec-tion
of famous paintings exhibited in several museums. In the
house of Rembrandt are exhibited several hundred of his etchings
which only prepare you for an even greater experience when you
see his actual paintings in the other museums.
This celebrated 17th century artist lived and worked in this
city and left a great contribution of which most is available for
viewing. The world renown Rijksmuweum or National museum of
the Netherlands displays four complete rooms of articulate marvels
of Rembrandt.
In the Stedelijk or Municipal museum there are the modern
paintings of Van Gogh, Picasso, Monet, and others. More than 200
sketches and paintings by the impressionist Van Gogh comprises
the major collection of this remarkable museum.
For a different experience a visit to the home of Anne Frank
will recall the events of the last world war. Everything is still much
the same as when found by her father after the war.
One can view and walk behind the bookcase that hid the family
for two years from the dreaded Gestapo which occupied Amsterdam
during much of the war. It is something that will create a mood
beyond our actual realm of living experiences.
Besides these places of interest, Anmsterdam offers some
of the best shopping bargains in all of Europe. Many small shops
and wagons line up along the side streets for the daily market
where bargaining is the key word.
Prices usually depend upon the feelings of the merchant and
the ability of the buyer to bargain. This too is a real part of
Amsterdam as the people then are seen in all their individuality.
Soccer club
drops 1-0 match
The game was offense. In fact,
the defense had most of the day
off. And in their third game,
against Augsburg, the Bethel Roy-als
Soccer Club walked away with
—a loss?
Alas, the forward line must have
been giving Tony, the Augie goal-ie
from Trinidad, ulcers as they
came down on him time after time.
In fact, things were so hot at
that part of the field that the
Royals were gifted with two pan-alty
kicks because of hand balls.
But Tony stopped one and the
other caromed off the goal post.
On a half dozen other occasions,
Bethel had what appeared to be
an open shot on goal and somehow
missed.
So alas, it was a quite frustra-ting
day. And to add humiliation
to defeat, Augsburg, who is more
unorganized than Bethel, did not
have a full team. In fact, since
Bethel only had eleven men, (the
game had been scheduled 24 hours
earlier) and the game was played
on the honor system.
Therefore, in playing an almost
entirely offensive game, the de-fense
was pulled up to mid-field
which, on occasion, gave Augsburg
a fast break. And, lo, it was such
an occasion when an Augsburg
wing broke away with no one in
front except the goalie and, though
amid screams of "off-side," he
placed the ball neatly through the
goal for the only score of the game.
And so our hats go off to the
Augsburg team, who not only
played tough in the clutch, but
played a clean game which was a
direct contrast from the Hamline
game in which there was more con-tact
between bodies than foot and
ball. And so the Bethel squad.
eagerly awaits a rematch.

Milt Williams, an articulate
spokesman in the Black communi-ty,
is the guest lecturer at to-night's
session of The Negro in
American Culture class. The topic
of Williams' presentation, second
in a series featuring "Black
voices," will concern Black power.
The 6:30 lecture (in room 211:
212) and the 7:30 discussion (in
the Royals Room of the Coffee
Shop) may be attended by both
class members and interested peo-ple
not enrolled in the course.
Williams is a well-known per-sonage
around the Twin Cities
area. He has participated in semi-nars,
lectures, and workshops in
the metropolitan region for the
past five years. Last spring Wil-liams
compiled a series of articles
It was another gloomy day for
Royal players as they suffered
their sixth straight defeat with
Jamestown trampling the Royals
55-0. Not only was it their sixth
straight but it marked' the third
time this season that Bethel has
been shut out.
In a most unusual attack, the
Jamestown Jimmies ran up a total
offense of 555 yards totally by
rushing. Carrying on 87 plays for
a 6.4 average they marched merci-lessly
down the field.
Using six quarterbacks the Jim-mies
light backfield swept through
Bethel's defense. A couple ,passes
were sneaked in but both dropped
incomplete.
Bethel's offense continued to
lack punch. Selander passed for
75 yards completing 10 of 32.
Three landed in opponents hands,
however. Rushing, the Royals
gained 68 yards for a net total
of 143 yards. Jamestown led in
first downs by a 26 to 10 margin.
Scoring was naturally dominated
by Jamestown. Scoring three

Williams grew up in Ohio and
was a sociology and history major
at Ohio's Wilberforce College. Af-ter
receiving his B.A. there, he
went to the Institute of Behavorial
Sciences at the University of Wis-consin
(Madison) for three years
of special studies.
Williams' experience includes
five years of work with the Public
Welfare Departments of New York
City and Cleveland and three and
one-half years as vocational coun-selor

the Way Community Center in Min-neapolis.
touchdowns in the first quarter
they coasted through the game.
Time and again large holes opened,
allowing large gains.
Not only were the touchdowns
scored by rushing but all extra
points were also carried over.
Bethel's farthest penetration went
to the 20 yard line of Jamestown.
As in past games the Royals had
a few good performances. Despite
many dropped passes by receivers,
Dave Pound and Jim Wessman
both grabbed 4 passes. Rushing,
Pete Roemer carried 12 times for
a net 52 yards and a 4.3 average.
On defense the defensive backs
had their share of action despite
the lack of passes. Murray Sitte
had 13 tackles while Tom Swan-son
had 10. Among lineman Lar-ry
Van Epps headed the list with
13 tackles.
With little to show thus far, the
Royals now move to their home-coming
game. To be sure, there
will be a good turn out. An ability
to win, however, will have to be
proven in the game, not on past
performance.

THE QUESTION AND ANSWER GAME
Directed to Head Football Coach 11Mo" Shields
Coach, the team took quite a beating at Jamestown last
Saturday. What was the main problem in that game.
Coach Shields: We just didn't come to play. At times we
had good offensive efforts, but the overall play was dismal.
This was the best running attack we've seen all year.
Though the Royals have a very unimpressive record of 0-6
and have not managed more than 7 points in any game, there
have been a few bright spots in the season. What are these?
Coach: The improvement of Dale Berry at center and Greg
Ekbom at guard have been bright spots. The offense has been
able to move the ball more lately which should help us Satur-day.
What do you know about our homecoming foe, Huron?
Coach: Huron is a school of about our own strength and
apparently has weaknesses that correspond with our strengths,
which makes the outlook for Saturday pretty bright.
What kind of game do you expect Saturday afternoon?
Coach: A win.

Brother combo anchors offensive line
Last Saturday against Jamestown
the Royals started two brothers at
offensive guard. Brother combina-tions
are not too unusual in col-legiate
football, but there is some-thing
remarkable about Vaughn
and Greg Ekbom, the sons of Mr.
and Mrs. Lowell Ekbom of rural
Willmar, Minnesota.
Vaughn Ekbom is a captain, a
three letter winner, and a starter
for the third year in a row. At
6'0", 185 pounds, Vaughn is not
exceptionally big for a lineman,
• and frequently must go against de-fensive
tackles that are 20 to 30
pounds heavier.
To block these physically super-ior
opponents demands quickness,
courage, and know-how. Vaughn
uses all these qualities to skillful-ly
crab block his man on passing
situations, and to quickly jolt the
defender on running plays.
At times he has also been used
on defense. Here again Vaughn
uses his quickness and toughness
to elude the blocker, and make the
tackle. Vaughn professes that he
likes defense and offense equally
well, but prefers to concentrate
on one position.
Greg Ekbom, •5' 9" and 166
pounds, is exceptionaly small for
a lineman. Like his brother, Greg
is quick and tough, but he must

Pillsbury varsity
defeats B squad
On a soggy field last October 7,
the Royal Junior Varsity football
squad battled the varsity squad
from Pillsbury of Owatonna. Des-pite
a good effort, the Royals
were overcome by a devastating
aerial attack.
Three long bombs helped build
a rather lopsided score of 34-7, in
favor of Pillsbury. A few plays
after kickoff, Pillsbury got on the
board with the first of the three,
long touchdown passes, but the
extra point attempt was foiled.
Led by quarterback Dan Rund-quist,
the Bethel JV effected a
long, sustained drive with the help
of a 15-yard penalty against Pills-bury.
Then, from about five yards
cut, tailback Jim Andresen crashed
over off-tackle for Bethel's only
score.
The remainder of the contest
saw Pillsbury score four more
times, and the ball exchanged
hands frequently.
Although these games played by
the JV don't carry the weight of
the world, they provide valuable
experience for the younger squad
members who see limited action
in varsity games. Also, it gives
the coaches a chance to evaluate
these players for the future.
rely entirely on these attributes,
since he is much smaller than any
other lineman he faces.
This season Greg started as a
defensive lineman, but after sever-al
games was moved over to of-fense.
Greg is still learning this
position; but he has already showed
ability in blocking for the run, and
has been steadily improving his
pass blocking.

Dale Saxon led Falcon to a 31-0
romp over Third Old in a battle
for first place last Saturday. Sax-on
ran for touchdowns of 60 and
99 yards and passed to Koopman
for TDs of 10 and 50 yards. King
scored the other TD on a 70 yard
pass interception.
The surprising Faculty beat First
Floor 13 to 0. A 30-yard pass from
Jack Trager to Paul Anrusko plus
the extra point made the score 7
to 0. Trager then passed for a
score to Dale Stephens to put the
game on ice.
In a game between last place
clubs Second Old whitewashed the
still winless New Dorm. Duddles-ton
led Second Old to their first
victory by throwing two 25-yard
TD passes, one to John Wiens and
the other to Wilzewski. He also
intercepted a pass and ran it back
60 yards for a score.
The lowest scoring game of the
day was between Third New and
Pit. Third New took the victory
on a 15-yard pass from Keith An-derson
to Rollie Kingsley.
Second New dealt Off Campus
their first loss of the season by
the score of 13 to 6. Off Campus
scored first on a 17-yard touch-down
pass from Delich to Schmidt.
Hasselblad then threw a 70-yard
pass to Berggren to tie the game.
The same duo clicked for the
extra point which proved to be
the winner. Second New added an-other
TD on a Hasselblad to Nord-mark
pass for 25 yards.
Saxon leads the loop in passing
with 6 scoring passes and three
extra points for a total of 39

Administrative council
cuts new dormitory rent,
adjusts rebate amounts
Rents were lowered and rebates
increased by a decision of the ad-ministrative
council late yesterday
afternoon. The . decision came on
the heels of continued student agi-tation
and responsive action by
the dean's office.
The administrative council, con-sisting
of the president and four
vice-presidents of Bethel College
and Seminary, leveled rent at a
uniform $137.50 per semester for
all dormitories. Rent for the new
residences was initially set at
$162.50 per term, despite a strong
feeling in the Student Services
Office that rents should be uni-form.
Rebates had been set earlier this
month for students denied services
or facilities covered by their rent-al
payment because of the delay
in completion of the Arden Hills
dormitory and the resultant hous-ing
problems.
Yesterday's decision increased
rebates for those students caught
in interim housing, and for the
Edgren residents who shared their
rooms with temporary occupants.
The increase in rebates is in addi-tion
to the twenty-five dollars
per semester cut in rent charges
for new dormitory residents.
The decision of the administra-tive
council follows the recommen-dation
of a group of students and
administrative personnel which met
a week ago last Tuesday. This
meeting was called by a member
Thursday, October 17, 1968 of the administrative committee,
Dr. Virgil Olson, the new Vice
President and Dean of the College,
following the Clarion's editorials
on the rent and rebate question in
the paper's October 4 edition. Dean
Olson, representatives of Dean of
Students Office, new dorm council
members, student senate officers,
and Clarion editors attended the
session.
Earlier the Board of Education
had authorized the administration
to review charges for the new dor-mitory
during its fall session on
campus. A resultant recommenda-tion
from the Student Services Of-fice
proposing minimal rebates and
no adjustment in the established
rental schedules provoked the fi-nal
round of action on the prob-lem,
culminating in the decision
of the administrative council.
Rent for the new dormitory
suites was cut twenty dollars from
the original charge of two hundred
in addition to the lowering of rent
for regular rooms. Rebates were
increased from two dollars to two-fifty
for women put in school pro-vided
interim housing and for all
men affected by temporary hous-ing
in Edgren.
New dorm residents providing
their own interim housing will be
refunded seven dollars and fifty
cents weekly, which is the colt
of housing from the revised rent
schedule.
Target date for occupancy of
the new residence has now been
pushed back from September 7 to
October 1 to October 12 and 23
(for women and men respectively)
to November 23. Officials hope

The primary election tomorrow
will narrow the number of candi-dates
to two for each office and
ten for the Senate. The final elec-tion,
a week from tomorrow, will
establish one person in each class
office and five in the Senate.
The men dominate the number

As far as the Senate is concerned
the ten senate candidates will by-pass

election next Friday.
Senatorial candidates are Dave
Barnhart, Tom Ford, Sue Frost,
Leland Grandlund, Diane Lund-berg,
Steve Marquardt, Jon Olan-der,

On both election days the voting
will be from noon until four
o'clock. Leonard Sammons, Chair-man
of the Election Board, reminds
students that votes are invalid be-fore
or after this time and that
any ballot is invalid showing any
mark by the voter other than an
X in the designated place. This
follows the Bethel election code.
Students will vote for one and
only one candidate for each class
office and any number of sena-torial
candidates up to and includ-ing
five. No voter is obligated to
vote for more than one senator.
Various complications in pre-vious
years have led the Senate
this year to pass an appeal for
the addition of a clause to the
present election code requiring a
candidate for class office to get
at least forty percent of the vote
cast to win a final election.
If two candidates each have more
than forty percent of the votes
cast the higher percentage wins.
If, however, a write-in candidate
should attract enough votes so
that none of the three has the re-quired
minimum the two highest
would compete in a "final final"
election to determine the winner.
This involves class offices only.
Students will vote on this meas-ure
tomorrow from noon until 4
p.m. If passed by the students it
will be in effect for the final
Frosh elections on the 25th.
The New Folk East, presenting the message of
Jesus Christ through song at major colleges and uni-versity
campuses across the nation, will present a
40 minute concert here during Monday chapel.
"We are telling the world—especially the colle-giate
world—that Jesus Christ is relevant to life today
and that he offers a solution—the only workable solu-tion—
to the world's problems," says Bob Horner,
leader of the New Folk West.
The New Folk are divided into two groups, one
of which travels in the eastern section of the United
States, and the other in the western section.
They sing a variety of music, including a number
of Simon and Garfunkel songs; songs written by Jim
Webb and made popular by Glen Campbell—such as
"By the Time I Get to Phoenix"—and smooth ballads.
The second half of the program is made up of
spiritual music, most of which was composed by New
Folk members.
The group seeks to identify with students and their
problems, and to explain that the solution to those
problems is in Christ.
They share personally from the experiences of
their own lives. Through the medium of song, they
attempt to describe the world situation and realistic
solutions by presenting their faith in Christ.
The response to this liberating message has been
very positive all over the country as literally thou-sands
of students have expressed their desire to sur-render
their lives to Jesus Christ, said Horner.
The New Folk are part of the traveling staff of
Campus Crusade for Christ International.
The New Folk East will present a concert Monday during Bethel's chapel period in
the fieldhouse.

Your Fear of Love" towards problems of alcoholism
by Jon Fagerson
Your Fear Of Love, Marshall Bryant Hodge
We fear the freedom of being ourselves; we fear the exposure of
self that love requires; and so we live cramped lives of self hate. Mar-shall
Hodge sees the way out of this vicious circle through accepting
oneself so that one may accept others (love your neighbor as yourself).
His comments on the church are appropriate for Bethel. If we
heed them, perhaps we can discover the meaning of Christian community:
. .. the church has a rather poor record in helping people experi-ence
the love of which so much is spoken. Despite lip service to the
primacy of love in human relationships, the church, by and large,
tends in practice to see moral value primarily in terms of external
behaviour rather than in terms of the experience of love. As a
result of this approach, _religious groups often appear to be con-cerned
primarily with judging people . . .
As a result, the experience of being accepted, loved, and en-joyed
as a person, irrespective of externals, is probably a rare ex-perience
in the church. And so the doors to the experience and
expression of love are often rather effectively shut. And they are
pushed shut under the guise of being lovingly concerned for the
welfare and happiness, both present and eternal, of the individual!
Senate in action
Taylor defines
by Maurice Zaffke
The Senate unanimously ap-proved
a memorandum of Student
Association President Greg Taylor
stating the Association financial
policy. The measure requested that
two per-cent of the college tuition
be directly turned over to the As-sociation
treasury upon collection.
Presently the "student tax" is
received through tuition charges
and approximates the two per-cent
requested. Taylor stressed that this
money would be deposited in A
commercial bank and controlled by
the Association treasure.
Taylor stated that the need for
such a measure was demonstrated
by the extreme difficulty of en-gaging
in even routine financial
transactions under the present sys-tem.
The failure of the business
office to keep the Senate informed
on its financial status and the in-herent
control the College has over
the Association through purse con-trol
constitute other reasons for
change.
WASHINGTON (BPA) — Church
spokesmen advocated a new stra-tegy
on the problems of drinking
during the 28th International Con-gress
on Alcohol and Alcoholism
here.
Bishop James K. Mathews of
the United Methodist Church de-scribed
the new strategy developed
among some church groups as
comprehensive, interdisciplinary
and ecumenical.
"The old legalistic-moralistic at-titude
is fading," Bishop Mathews
told delegates to the world's lar-gest
scientific meeting on altohol
and alcoholism. This attitude is
being replaced by a new freedom
of choice for the individual and
active involvement in society, he
explained.
Mathews said the Church's new
strategy sees the total person in
society and the inter-relatedness of
various alcohol problems. The re-ligious
community, according to
the Methodist leader, is seeking
the opportunity for a healthy
wholeness of life for everyone.
"The concern is for man, for the
whole man and for man to be
truly whole. It is this spirit, I
think, that exemplifies the Church
today at its best. . ." It is this
that should cause the Church to
understand "with both head and
heart" all the problems which be-set
humanity, he said.
The new stance among some
church groups, one that other pro-fessionals
arrived at earlier, is
based on the concept that alcohol
is a problem to man because man
is a problem to himself.
A particular illustration of this
came in the section of the con-gress
studying the problems of
young alcoholics. "Problem drink-ers"
among adolscents are more
often "problem people," according
to the findings presented.
by Chuck Myrbo
Even in an old-church-turned-local-
theater, with amateur actors
and actresses and uncomfortable
seats that look a little bare without
their hymnal racks, Shakespeare
can shine through. He does shine
quite often in the Eastside Theater
production of "Measure For Mea-sure,"
but not quite as brightly as
he should.
"Measure for Measure" is a com-edy
about a good man turned bad
by sudden power. The theater bills
his situation as relevant by putting
drawings of Humphrey, Nixon and
Wallace in the program, but they
take most of the significance out of
the play by turning it into a farce.
Lines and characters are milked
for every possible laugh and then
one more for good measure. The
kind of pratfalls and character
traits that went over big in high
school get even bigger laughs. The
characters turn into caricatures
under the strain.
Resignations of two student sen-ators,
Wayne Eller and Leonard
Sammons, have created two vacan-cies
for senator-at-large. A pri-mary
election tomorrow will trim
the seven hopefuls for the open-ings
to four candidates for the
final election October 28.
"I have decided to resign for
five types of reasons," Sammons
explained: "personal, political, so-

drinkers are "likely to be
problem people whose difficulties
center around their impulsivity,
need for excitement and some form
of aggressive and antisocial be-havior."
In a majority of case studies,
the youthful alcoholic has per-sonality
disorders, often of a se-vere
degree. Many were found to
have poor family relationships.
They were described as generally
hostile toward their fathers and
as having close relationships with
their mothers.
From the outset, many of the
young alcoholics first started
drinking to relieve symptoms such
as loneliness, shyness, depression
and frustration.
The study of this group suggest-ed
that traditional efforts directed
toward changing attitudes about
drinking would be "completely in-effective"
with such persons.
"Instead it (education) should
focus more on . . . life experiences
with the ultimate goal of allowing
them to achieve satisfaction in
other ways . . ." their report sta-ted.

Dr. Morris Chafetz, a psychiatrist
and director of the Alcohol Clinic
at Massachusetts General Hospital,
agreed that alcoholism is really
"a symptom of psychological and
social abnormalities." He described
it as a "complex problem that
doesn't fit into a nice, neat pack-age."
The Church's strategy, according
to Bishop Mathews, must see the
interrelatedness of all alcohol
problems from teen age drinking,
family disorders and health on to

public attitudes toward drinking
and abstinence.
The American church leader
urged clergymen to work on these
issues at state and national levels
as well as in local areas with pub-lic
and other religious groups and
agencies. He asked especially for
more unity among churches "in
understanding and action" on al-cohol-
related problems.
"The religious community simply
cannot afford splintered and con-tradictory
approaches if it is to
have any impact on these issues,"
he emphasized.
Another church spokesman, John
C. Ford, S. J., professor of pastoral
theology at Weston College in Mas-sachusetts
proposed that expon-ents
of total abstinence and moder-ate
use come to terms on "the com-mon
ground of Christian sobrie-ty."
The Jesuit priest said he recog-nized
that "this is not possible in
some denominations." But, he ob-served,
there "is no intrinsic rea-son
why two social-religious move-ments,
one for total abstinence and
one for virtuous moderation,
should not work side by side as
friendly allies in a common cause."
Earlier, Ford said it seemed to
him that one of the most funda-mental
problems for church edu-cators
is the development of a
rationale with regard to the rela-tionship
between what he called
"chemical comfort" and Christian
virtue.
He emphasized the need for this
view of the increasing drug orien-tation
of our culture and what ap-pears
to be an increase in various
forms of flights from reality.
The Catholic theologian urged a
study of a whole list of "chemical
comforters" from tea and coffee,
through tobacco down to tranquil-izers,
barbiturates and narcotics
and their relationship to Christian
virtue.

financial policy
The financial control became
more than de facto in the planning
of this year's Homecoming. The
business office attempted to force
the Taylor government to function
under the specifics of a budget
established under the Hammer ad-ministration.
The Student Association execu-tive
was not disputing over the to-tal
budgeted to the Association but
over particulars of that budget in
which non-Association personhel
should have no right to interfere.
The real significance of this mat-ter
is found not in the memoran-dum
but in an assumption upon
which it is based. Briefly in this
move the Senate declares that it
is interdependently autonomous in
relation to the rest of the Bethel
community.
It is elected by the association
and is responsible to it through
election, recall, pressure, audit, and
whatever other means a group has
of regulating their representatives

Nixon paid tribute to Sen. Eu-gene
McCarthy for "energizing the
young" and told them that the
Republican party "will give you a
chance" if you feel rejected by
the other party. He also said that
the party would listen to these
young followers, and not just toler-ate
them.
One of the biggest responses
came when he stated, "The Amer-ican
flag is not going to be a
doormat for anybody when we get
into office."
More prolonged applause came
when he promised to replace At-torney
General Ramsey Clark with
someone who has more spine to
enforce the laws.
The country became a great
country, he said, "not because of
what the government did for the
people but because of what the
people did for themselves."
"In terms of the burden of tax-ation,
you've never had it so heavy.
In terms of the cost of living,
you've never had it so high. In
terms of trying to make both ends
meet, you've never had it so hard,"
Nixon intoned.
Bethel students helped make
over 7,000 signs in support of Nix-on;
blew up some 6,500 balloons
(which descended on the rally from
85 feet in the air); and assisted the

"We want Nixon!" "Peace and
Freedom." "WE WANT NIXON!!!"
Such were the responses of the
crowd to Richard M. Nixon, the
Republican presidential candidate
during his appearance at the Min-neapolis
Auditorium last Tuesday
evening. This campaign appearance
is another of a series of attempts
by Nixon to embarass Democrat
Hubert Humphrey by defeating
him in his home state.
Over 10,000 rain soaked enthu-siasts,
including some 75 Bethel-ites,
jammed the auditorium and
provided the candidate with some
of the greatest spirit of the cam-paign
trail.
In response to some hecklers in
the crowd, the Nixon supporters
literally shouted them out of the
Auditorium. Nixon said that the
police did not need to eject any
of the hecklers because, "In ,a
Nixon crowd, in contrast to a
Humphrey crowd the crowd drowns
out the hecklers."
Nixon, in his standard campaign
speech, characterized the Democra-tic
candidate as "the most expen-sive
senator in United States his-tory."
Humphrey, from 1949 to
1961 "beat the drums to have Con-gress
spend $100 billion more than
it actually spent in those year."
Nixon declared that if Humphrey
were elected, he would be "far and
away the most expensive president
in United States history."
Nixon also emphasized higher
taxes, a continued gold drain, high-er
inflation, skyrocketing interest
rates and a higher cost of living
if his opponent is elected.
The Republican candidate said
that the federal tax rate and fed-eral
spending are too high and
should come down. It is time, he
said, that "we left more of the

Varsity, and started on Bethel
campus because students rarely get
to know each other well. Through
Christian fellowship I.V. helps stu-dents
become personally involved
with others around them. Other
campuses such as Macalester and
the University of Minnesota also
have Inter Varsity groups.
The I.V. meetings are informal
get-togethers. Sometimes the lar-ger
group divides into small groups
of about five students to facilitate
discussion.
These small groups are called
"Fell" groups, short for Fellowship
groups. Often films are shown and
provocative persons speak.
I.V. will sponsor hayrides and
progressive dinners throughout the
year. The time and date of each
meeting will be announced. All
that is needed to join Inter Varsity
is attendance at the meetings.
Inter Varsity is featuring a re-cent
graduate of the University of
Minnesota who graduate with high
honors in music and writes her
own folksongs.
New approach
from page 2
In making a plea for Christian
sobriety, he said there is a "ra-ther
nice line to be drawn between
a use of pleasures which is legi-timate
and Christ-like, and a use
of pleasures which is hedonistic
and excessive."
This approach is especially im-portant
for any kind of preventive
program among young people, the
priest said. Few young persons
would be motivated toward total
abstinence because of some far-off
possibility of becoming alcoholics,
he pointed out.
He urged church educators to
direct their efforts toward the
"positive, immediate and explicit"
aim of the practice of the virtue
of sobriety rather than at the pre-vention
of the sickness of alcohol-ism.
The Jesuits' Estates Question, 1760-1888, a new
book by Dr. Roy C. Dalton, is being published by the,
University of Toronto Press. Dalton, known casually as
"Doc" by many students, holds the chairmanship of
the Bethel History Department.
The book interprets a portion of the history of
the Jesuit Order in Canada, especially in Quebec.
Although the Jesuits, 1760-1888, and even Canada it-self
may seem rather far removed from the Bethel
present, Dalton reports that there are many similari-ties
between the agitation for which he provides the
background and the Joseph McCarthy era or the
Kennedy campaign of 1960.
Dalton noted that one of the personalities involved
in the situation had the name Dalton McCarthy, an
association "Doc" is not sure he appreciates.
Dalton's interest in Canadian history developed
in his graduate study at the University of Minnesota.
In fact this book represents an amplification of his
doctoral dissertation.
Although "Doc" did original research in Canada,
much of his work was accomplished here through
the Bethel Library. The Ottawa Public Archives loaned
microfilm copies of documents that originated in Lon-don
to the Bethel Library making it possible for
Dalton to read these statements in his own Bethel
office.
Dalton resolved the writer's perennial problem
of financing by gaining the backing of the Social
Science Research Council of Canada. They have un-derwritten
The Jesuits' Estates Question as part of a
series on Canadian history and government being
published by the University of Toronto Press.
Although the study of church-state relations occu-pies
an important place in a Christian liberal arts
college, Dalton promised not to make it required
reading for any of his courses—with one exception.
His class of one student, John Cowan, in Readings In
Canadian History, must read the book.
"Doc" also hinted that perhaps someone should
tell Mr. Rosell ( a new history teacher) that the chair-man
of his department released a new book and that
it might not be unwise to read it.
Dalton does not expect The Jesuits' Estates Ques-tion
to become a best seller but he is encouraged to
hear that the Bethel Bookstore has confidence in his
selling power and has ordered two copies—one for
Cowan and one for Rosell.
Regardless of how many Bethelites purchase the
book, all will not be loss. Dalton expects his work
to sell well as a supplementary text on Catholic cam-puses.
If such becomes the actual case the next story
on the book should be entitled "Bethel Teacher Writes
Texts for Catholic Colleges."
Ed. Note: This independent column is prepared by an editorial
board currently composed of four Bethel alumni: Malcolm Avey,
Jim Brand, Al Brown, and Rich Runbeck.
"Moderation" or "the balanced life" are Christian values
of long-standing; yet they are impediments to the unobstructed
development of healthy personalities. Such is the implication
Gordon Allport makes in his theory on personality found in his
book, Becoming.
In this theory, Allport achieves a breakdown of the fac-tors
in personality. He maintains, firstly, that the personality
has two dimensions 1) the opportunistic, and 2) the proprium.
The opportunistic aspect of personality is all that we
have learned and acquired which is important to our function-ing,
such as habits and skills, but which are peripheral to the
core of our existence. Someone knowing that part of me still
would not know the real me, what makes me me.
Within the proprium, however, lie all the other personality
factors which are warm and important and unique to me,
which knowing them, another person knows me and I know
me. Important among these is the ego-extension factor.
A person who is ego-extended is one who has developed
larger loyalties and interests and has become self-involved
in these. He is a highly unified personality and he has allowed
himself to go doggedly into some particular ideology, and has
adapted his life, his dress, his behavior, in accordance with
this new loyalty. All his ego-extension, (dress, behavior, values)
bespeak the kind of person he is.
Now to restate the original point: "moderation" or "the
balanced life" are serious impediments to full and complete
ego-extension and thus, a unified personality.
In what sense is this true? In the sense that "moderation"
dictates a very narrow range of approvable behavior, and in
this way, limits an individual's freedom to explore and become
self-involved.
Where moderation is practiced, any behavior, value, or
life-style different from the approved middle range is immedi-ately
under suspicion.
To specify, we are all well aware of the disapproving
stigmas which have stymied the progress of drama and the
theater in conservative circles. The same disapproval and cau-tion
have also been a plague to the art world, not to mention
the other areas within and without academia which require
a free and experimental spirit.
The call to moderation has in essence resulted in a pop-ulation
of fettered spirits, persons whose own growth has
been stunted by the confinement of these dictates.

WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR?, the theme of Bethel
Homecoming 1968, is a question taken from Luke 10,
the parable of the Good Samaritan. The answer is
given by Jesus as he relates the story of a man, beaten
and robbed.
Two men stop and look but pass by on the other
side. But a certain Samaritan took pity on him and in-volved
himself.
`Who is my neighbor' is a question asked again to-day
in an age of Christian complacency. It is asked
in the face of a world that needs our answer.
God calls us to a problem, not programs, in which
we will find our ministries . . . problems which capti-vate
our minds and imaginations and motivate us to
give our lives to try to bring Christ's vision of wholeness
to situations and people, as we begin to see them from
His perspective.
The Friday and Saturday evening programs will
deal directly with the question and answer.
Pep-Fire opens festivities
A Pep-Fire on the new campus will kickoff 1968 Homecoming
festivities tonight at 8 p.m. The first of events is the Queen Corona-tion
in front of the majestic Sem Library. The M.C. will be Tom Messaros,
accompanied by a male quartet consisting of Pat Schonbachler, Dale
Saxon, John Cowan and Leroy Mattson.
Next on the agenda is the pep fest around the old traditional bon
fire with much cheering and psyching up for Saturday's game when the
Scalpers get wamped. Chuck Myrbo will then initiate a tug-of-war
between the classes. The winning class will be privileged to swing forth
on Saturday at half-time to tug with the alumni.
The evening will terminate with a delightful barbeque, which will
be served on the lawn. No doubt hunger will have struck by this time
in the evening of events.
Betty Creighton is in charge of Thursday evening's festivities and
Wibby Smith of the coronation.
Seniors Tim Gibson, Dan Johnson, Steve Smith, and
Mike Scandrett burn the midnight oil preparing the senior
class float for display during Saturday's activities.

Judd speaks Saturday
Dr. Walter H. Judd, for twenty
years a Minnesota representative
in Congress, will speak Saturday
evening on the Homecoming theme
of "Who is my neighbor?" The pro-gram
begins at 8 p.m. in the field-house
and includes a performance
by the college choir.
Judd, born in Rising City, Neb-raska,
worked his way through col-lege
and medical school at the
University of Nebraska prior to
orld War I. He then enlisted as
an army private during the war.
attaining the rank of lieutenant in
the Field Artillery by the time he
was discharged from service.
In 1925, under the Foreign Mis-sion
Board of the Congregational
Church, Judd went to South China
as a medical missionary. Repeated
attacks of malaria forced his return
to the United States in 1931.
Upon his return, Judd toured
American churches and colleges,
speaking on the expanding threat
of communism and Japanese mil-tarism
in China. In 1932, after re-covering
his health, he received a
Fellowship in surgery at the Mayo
Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
Judd returned to Asia in 1934,
this time to North China where
there was no malaria. He came un
der Japanese control for five
months when Japan's armies cep-tured
this area.
He returned home in 1938, con-vinced
that the growing Japanese
war machine must be checked.
Judd carried that message to more
than 1400 audiences in 46 states
during the following two years.
In January of 1941, he resumed
medical practice in Minneapolis
but decided to run for Congress
after Pearl Harbor brought the
U. S. into World War II. He was
elected in 1942 and served for
twenty years as the representative
from Minnesota's Fifth District be-fore
being defeated in 1962 by tha
current incumbent, DFLer Donald
Fraser.
Twenty-five universities and col-leges
have confered honorary doc-torate
degrees on Judd. In a 1962
Congressional poll, he was voted
one of the five most influential
members of the House by his col-leagues.
Judd, who gave the keynote ad-dress
at the 1960 Republican Na-
Vonal Convention in Chicago, be-fore
a radio and TV audience of
some sixty million Americans, is
currently a contributing editor of
Reader's Digest and also provides
a brief daily commentary on world
events for 1100 radio stations.
He has apepared on many nation-vide
radio and TV programs, and
continues to speak to interested
groups all over the country, par-ticularly
in college and university
communities.
Karl Karlson "Alumnus of the Year" Homecoming court views
roles in weekend activity by Margie Whaley
A unique tie with Bethel College
and Seminary, as well as wide no-toriety
in his field of medical prac-tice,
distinguish Dr. Karl E. Karl-son,
M. D. from New York, who is
to be a special guest of honor here
this weekend.
Officials of the Bethel Alumni
Association have enthusiastically
announced Dr. Karlson as its selec-tion
for Bethel's fourth annual
"Alumnus of the Year" award.
Dr. Karlson, professor of sur-gery
and chief of thoracic surgery
at Downstate Medical Center of
the University of New York, is
expected to arrive Friday for
homecoming Alumni activities dur-ing
which he is to accept the 1968
award and title.
This "Alumnus of the Year"
spent most of his boyhood years
almost on Bethel's doorstep. He is
the son of the late Karl J. Karlson,
who was a professor at Bethel Sem-inary
in 1922-25 and dean of the
seminary in 1925-48. Dr. Karlson
lived with his family at 1374 N.
Simpson St., attended St. Paul
schools and graduated from Mech-anic
Arts High School.
After attending Bethel's then-two-
year College in 1938-39, Dr.
Karlson transferred to the Univer-sity
of Minnesota in order to train
in his chosen field of medicine.
He received his bachelor of sci-ence
degree in 1942, his M. B. from
the University's Medical School
Dr. Karl E. Karlson
and his M.D. in 1945. Dr. Karlson's
internship was in straight surgery
and his residency in surgery at
the University of Minnesota Hos-pitals.
In 1952 he completed graduate
school and received his Ph.D with
a major in surgery and a minor in
pathology.
Dr. Karlson, a specialist in
heart and chest surgery, has con-tributed
to that field which has
been in the forefront of recent
medical history. Along with a
team of colleagues under the lea-dership
of Dr. Clarence Dennis,
Dr. Karlson is noted for having
worked on the development of the
first artificial heart and lung. He
wrote his doctorate thesis and dis-sertation
on the subject.
He served two years as medical
officer with the U. S. Navy and
was stationed in thoracic surgery
in the U. S. Navy Hospital at St.
Albans, Long Island, New York,
from 1954-56.
Besides holding positions at the
State University of New York
Downstate Medical Center since
1951, Dr. Karlson has served as
consultant and visiting surgeon for
numerous hospitals and medical
centers in New York. He also
travels extensively, lecturing for
various conventions and medical
organizations.
Dr. Karlson has been a member
of the Central Advisory Commit-tee,
Council on Cardiovascular Sur-gery
of the American Heart As-sociation
since 1962; he was pres-ident
of the Brooklyn Thoracic
Society in 1964-65; he is treasurer
of the International Cardiovascular
Society; he has served as member
and officer of the New York Sur-gical
Society and the New York
Society for Cardiovascular Sur-gery;
and he holds memberships
in Alpha Omega Alpha and many
other medical societies.
Among his outstanding accom-plishments
in the field of medicine
include about 100 publications and
textbooks which he has authored
or co-authored.
In spite of his busy schedule,
Dr. Karlson has remained active
in the Baptist General Conference
and actively interested in Bethel
College and Seminary.
His conference activities include
vice chairman and deacon in the
Trinity Baptist Church, N. Y. C.,
and moderator and member of the
executive board of the Mid-Atlan-tic
Conference. Dr. Karlson also
served five years as a member of
the Foreign Mission Board and was
a member of the trustee Board
of the Baptist General Confer-ence.
In his church, Dr. Karlson has
taught the .. college-age Sunday
School class and has even filled
the pulpit upon occasional absence
of the pastor.
Dr. Karlson has also provided
a scholarship each year to a Bethel
Seminarian for graduate studies,
in hopes that the students will
contribute to the work of the Con-ference.
The father of six children, Dr.
Karlson is married to the former
Gloria Anderson, also a Bethel
Alumnus. The Karlsons and their
11-year-old daughter and five sons,
ranging from 3 to 16 years old,
live in Pelham Manor, New York.
Each year the family spends about
a month at their summer home at
Rush Lake in northern Minnesota.
Dr. Karlson's mother, 99, is a
patient at the Golden Age Home
in St. Paul. His sister, Phyllis
Karlson, a designer and a former
home economics teacher at Min-nehaha
Academy, lives in the Karl-sons'
former family home.
One of Dr. Karlson's closest
friends is Dr. Gordon Johnson,
dean of Bethel Seminary, who at-tended
St. Paul schools and one
year at the University with Karl-son.
Dr. Karlson is described by Dr.
Johnson as a person with "genuine
modesty and real dedication to the
work of the church . . . the kind
of person who doesn't wear his
Christianity on his sleeve but is
admired for his solid Christian
stability."
Saturday morning they walked
into the Coffee Shop, chitchatting
busily about something. One of
them left to find the fifth member
but returned alone.
"What was your reaction when
you found out?"
"About what?"
"About getting n—"
"Oh, that. I said, 'Are you kid-ding
me?!' "
"When I walked over and saw it,
I couldn't believe it!"
"They called my roomie, and her
comment was, 'Gee . . "
"All I could say was 'Huh?!'
when they told me."
Speaking about reactions, I won-der
how our other friend took it."
"Ha, ha, she probably slept right
through it."
With all this lightness, one might
wonder how important this meet-ing
was. Four of them gathered
around a booth and began scrib-bling
something on a piece of pa-per.
Then one began making little
gestures.
"We could have it like this with
this line."
"We'll get the same but different
colors."
"How 'bout velvet?"
"Ah, velvet! But I don't have
any money!"
"And we'll all wear curls."
"But I don't have any hair!"
These are our candidates for
Homecoming Queen, discussing the
feminine angles of their weekend's
appearance. Selected from the Sen-ior
Class are Kathy Anderson and
Chris Froelich and from the Junior
Class, Jackie Goodman, Miriam
Kling, and Carol Larsen.

Unfinished dorm reminds
`old timers' of '46 delays
Bethel male goes cattin' around Thursday, October 17, 1968
by Jeanne Scaholm
"Well, when I was a boy . . ."
Sound familiar? It's that monoto-nous
phrase we hear so often from
our dads. But it could be the voice
of a freshman's father who attend-ed
Bethel in 1946.
What we're going through now
isn't unique. It's a replay of the
housing situation in 1946 when the
veterans returning from the war
boosted Bethel's enrollment. At
that time Edgren and Hagstrom
residences were being completed,
and the students were subjected
to greater inconveniences than
they face now.
The fellows were hearded into
a large, white 4-H barn in the Fair-grounds
where they spent the first
six weeks. To forget the cold at-mosphere
of the barn, which had
no heat nor study space, Perry
Hedberg, a student at this time,
said that the fellows "engaged in
more horseplay." Affectionately
their dorm was called "Hotel El
Barno."
When the second and third floors
of Edgren were ready for occupan-cy,
"El Barno" was vacated. Those
fellows slated to room on Edgren's
first floor were wedged into the
basement of the Seminary build-ing.
Classrooms were on the first
floor and housing for Seminarians
was on the second floor. The po-tential
Edgren fellows had double-deck
bunks in room No. 3, and
their laundry room was S6.
"They (the veterans) were
chomping at the bit to get in
some kind of situation. Really they
were disappointed. They had been
in service and now wanted school-ing,
comfort, and convenience,"
Hedberg noted.
There was no room between the
bunks and no closet space_ in the
Seminary basement. Doc Dalton,
also a student at the time, termed
it "suitcase living." He compared
"El Barno" and the Seminary base-ment
to "moving right back into
the Army."
When all the students finally
settled on campus, the atmosphere
was bleak. There was no field-house,
no library, and the weather
was cold and rainy.
Hagstrom was then the married
couples' apartment building, and
the construction there was just
as unpleasant. Since the workmen
worked during the day, all conven-iences
and facilities were turned
off except for an hour at noon. If
the couples wanted to cook coffee
or turn on a lamp to study, they
had to go elsewhere to find electri-city.
The heating for Hagstrom origi-nated
from the boiler room be-hind
the Seminary building. It
was inefficient for heating the
whole building, and consequently
some families had to suffer. Con-sider,
for instance, the couple with
a baby who woke up every morn-ing
in a fifty-four degree room.
A student overheard the dorm
supervisor and an office member
discussing the financial end of
the inconvenience. The supervisor
said that the fellows would expect
a rebate, and the office worker
said that if the fellows didn't say
anything, it would be overlooked.
Dana Larson, father of Jonathan
P. and Tim, lived in Hagstrom in
1946. His family and two others
were considered "oldsters," having
been around Bethel longer. They
decided to draw up a petition to
gain a rebate for the conconven-ient
housing.
After the petition was signed
and turned in, the three instiga-tors
appeared before the board
and obtained a hearing. The result
was a very minimal rebate which
wasn't claimed. The Edgren fel-lows
were able to collect a small
reimbursement also, although they
didn't petition.
It's a coincidence that a simi-lar
dorm deadline is being relived
a generation later, and it's inter-esting
to compare the likenesses
and differences of the two exper-iences.
Some day perhaps we'll
echo, "Well, when I was a boy . . ."
Girls, protest! If the Edgren guys bore you, turn to the Eagle guys
for excitement! Russell (Rusty to those who know him) conned the S.S.
into letting him live in the Manoi 'midst all those beautiful girls. But
why should they be the lucky ones?
From all appearances, Rusty is no tougher than any other Bethel
Boys, which doesn't say much. He's of average size, has long red hair
and mustache, is firmly built and doesn't talk much, but I've been told
that he hunts fast. Get in there with his prey!
As he seldom hangs around campus and never sits through chapel
(don't tell the dean), Rusty must be sought after in his favorite hang-outs.
One of them is the Como Zoo where he goes quite often to talk
with the animals Doctor Doolittle style. (He is a little wierd in that
respect.) Most often he can be found prowling along the halls of the Man-or
looking for handouts.
Rusty is no exception to the stomach-to-heart rule. His favorites
include spaghetti, pizza, pumpkin pie with whipped cream, peanut
butter, and broccoli with butter. This guy is a big eater, girls, so get
movin' and start cookin'.
If at first sight Rusty doesn't grab you as being the All-American
type male, give him time. After all, how cool can a cat be?
"Us Bethel guys stick to-gether!"
IT'S HERE!
"It's a hard life."

Dale Stephens, house parents at Eagle
Manor. Dr. Stephens teaches chemistry
at Bethel.

"Venice of the North" or the "surprising city" both typically
characterize Amsterdam, in the heart of Holland. I like to think
of Amsterdam as creating for itself its qualities of human resources
which have actually built up the country's productive land.
The fabled wooden shoes, cheese, and tulips, have long since
lost their environment in this city. Amsterdam of today still re-lates
back to the 17th century "Golden Age" of Dutch colonialism
but she lives in the 20th century.
From the tallest modern skyscraper overlooking the old canal
mansions to the congestion of traffic over the canal bridges, this is
Amsterdam today. The city is a crossroads by water and air for
Europe to the outside trading world. Amsterdam prospers with its
modern business and industrial resources and developments but
lags between in modern ideas of public living conditions.
An hour long boat trip through the polluted canals in the city
will prove interesting for your vital senses of smell and sight.
Even so they are "cleaned" twice a day with the opening up of sea
gates for fresh sea water.
Of interest to most visitors in Amsterdam is the great collec-tion
of famous paintings exhibited in several museums. In the
house of Rembrandt are exhibited several hundred of his etchings
which only prepare you for an even greater experience when you
see his actual paintings in the other museums.
This celebrated 17th century artist lived and worked in this
city and left a great contribution of which most is available for
viewing. The world renown Rijksmuweum or National museum of
the Netherlands displays four complete rooms of articulate marvels
of Rembrandt.
In the Stedelijk or Municipal museum there are the modern
paintings of Van Gogh, Picasso, Monet, and others. More than 200
sketches and paintings by the impressionist Van Gogh comprises
the major collection of this remarkable museum.
For a different experience a visit to the home of Anne Frank
will recall the events of the last world war. Everything is still much
the same as when found by her father after the war.
One can view and walk behind the bookcase that hid the family
for two years from the dreaded Gestapo which occupied Amsterdam
during much of the war. It is something that will create a mood
beyond our actual realm of living experiences.
Besides these places of interest, Anmsterdam offers some
of the best shopping bargains in all of Europe. Many small shops
and wagons line up along the side streets for the daily market
where bargaining is the key word.
Prices usually depend upon the feelings of the merchant and
the ability of the buyer to bargain. This too is a real part of
Amsterdam as the people then are seen in all their individuality.
Soccer club
drops 1-0 match
The game was offense. In fact,
the defense had most of the day
off. And in their third game,
against Augsburg, the Bethel Roy-als
Soccer Club walked away with
—a loss?
Alas, the forward line must have
been giving Tony, the Augie goal-ie
from Trinidad, ulcers as they
came down on him time after time.
In fact, things were so hot at
that part of the field that the
Royals were gifted with two pan-alty
kicks because of hand balls.
But Tony stopped one and the
other caromed off the goal post.
On a half dozen other occasions,
Bethel had what appeared to be
an open shot on goal and somehow
missed.
So alas, it was a quite frustra-ting
day. And to add humiliation
to defeat, Augsburg, who is more
unorganized than Bethel, did not
have a full team. In fact, since
Bethel only had eleven men, (the
game had been scheduled 24 hours
earlier) and the game was played
on the honor system.
Therefore, in playing an almost
entirely offensive game, the de-fense
was pulled up to mid-field
which, on occasion, gave Augsburg
a fast break. And, lo, it was such
an occasion when an Augsburg
wing broke away with no one in
front except the goalie and, though
amid screams of "off-side," he
placed the ball neatly through the
goal for the only score of the game.
And so our hats go off to the
Augsburg team, who not only
played tough in the clutch, but
played a clean game which was a
direct contrast from the Hamline
game in which there was more con-tact
between bodies than foot and
ball. And so the Bethel squad.

Milt Williams, an articulate
spokesman in the Black communi-ty,
is the guest lecturer at to-night's
session of The Negro in
American Culture class. The topic
of Williams' presentation, second
in a series featuring "Black
voices," will concern Black power.
The 6:30 lecture (in room 211:
212) and the 7:30 discussion (in
the Royals Room of the Coffee
Shop) may be attended by both
class members and interested peo-ple
not enrolled in the course.
Williams is a well-known per-sonage
around the Twin Cities
area. He has participated in semi-nars,
lectures, and workshops in
the metropolitan region for the
past five years. Last spring Wil-liams

It was another gloomy day for
Royal players as they suffered
their sixth straight defeat with
Jamestown trampling the Royals
55-0. Not only was it their sixth
straight but it marked' the third
time this season that Bethel has
been shut out.
In a most unusual attack, the
Jamestown Jimmies ran up a total
offense of 555 yards totally by
rushing. Carrying on 87 plays for
a 6.4 average they marched merci-lessly
down the field.
Using six quarterbacks the Jim-mies
light backfield swept through
Bethel's defense. A couple ,passes
were sneaked in but both dropped
incomplete.
Bethel's offense continued to
lack punch. Selander passed for
75 yards completing 10 of 32.
Three landed in opponents hands,
however. Rushing, the Royals
gained 68 yards for a net total
of 143 yards. Jamestown led in
first downs by a 26 to 10 margin.
Scoring was naturally dominated
by Jamestown. Scoring three

touchdowns in the first quarter
they coasted through the game.
Time and again large holes opened,
allowing large gains.
Not only were the touchdowns
scored by rushing but all extra
points were also carried over.
Bethel's farthest penetration went
to the 20 yard line of Jamestown.
As in past games the Royals had
a few good performances. Despite
many dropped passes by receivers,
Dave Pound and Jim Wessman
both grabbed 4 passes. Rushing,
Pete Roemer carried 12 times for
a net 52 yards and a 4.3 average.
On defense the defensive backs
had their share of action despite
the lack of passes. Murray Sitte
had 13 tackles while Tom Swan-son
had 10. Among lineman Lar-ry
Van Epps headed the list with
13 tackles.
With little to show thus far, the
Royals now move to their home-coming
game. To be sure, there
will be a good turn out. An ability
to win, however, will have to be
proven in the game, not on past
performance.

THE QUESTION AND ANSWER GAME
Directed to Head Football Coach 11Mo" Shields
Coach, the team took quite a beating at Jamestown last
Saturday. What was the main problem in that game.
Coach Shields: We just didn't come to play. At times we
had good offensive efforts, but the overall play was dismal.
This was the best running attack we've seen all year.
Though the Royals have a very unimpressive record of 0-6
and have not managed more than 7 points in any game, there
have been a few bright spots in the season. What are these?
Coach: The improvement of Dale Berry at center and Greg
Ekbom at guard have been bright spots. The offense has been
able to move the ball more lately which should help us Satur-day.
What do you know about our homecoming foe, Huron?
Coach: Huron is a school of about our own strength and
apparently has weaknesses that correspond with our strengths,
which makes the outlook for Saturday pretty bright.
What kind of game do you expect Saturday afternoon?
Coach: A win.

Brother combo anchors offensive line
Last Saturday against Jamestown
the Royals started two brothers at
offensive guard. Brother combina-tions
are not too unusual in col-legiate
football, but there is some-thing
remarkable about Vaughn
and Greg Ekbom, the sons of Mr.
and Mrs. Lowell Ekbom of rural
Willmar, Minnesota.
Vaughn Ekbom is a captain, a
three letter winner, and a starter
for the third year in a row. At
6'0", 185 pounds, Vaughn is not
exceptionally big for a lineman,
• and frequently must go against de-fensive
tackles that are 20 to 30
pounds heavier.
To block these physically super-ior
opponents demands quickness,
courage, and know-how. Vaughn
uses all these qualities to skillful-ly
crab block his man on passing
situations, and to quickly jolt the
defender on running plays.
At times he has also been used
on defense. Here again Vaughn
uses his quickness and toughness
to elude the blocker, and make the
tackle. Vaughn professes that he
likes defense and offense equally
well, but prefers to concentrate
on one position.
Greg Ekbom, •5' 9" and 166
pounds, is exceptionaly small for
a lineman. Like his brother, Greg
is quick and tough, but he must

Pillsbury varsity
defeats B squad
On a soggy field last October 7,
the Royal Junior Varsity football
squad battled the varsity squad
from Pillsbury of Owatonna. Des-pite
a good effort, the Royals
were overcome by a devastating
aerial attack.
Three long bombs helped build
a rather lopsided score of 34-7, in
favor of Pillsbury. A few plays
after kickoff, Pillsbury got on the
board with the first of the three,
long touchdown passes, but the
extra point attempt was foiled.
Led by quarterback Dan Rund-quist,
the Bethel JV effected a
long, sustained drive with the help
of a 15-yard penalty against Pills-bury.
Then, from about five yards
cut, tailback Jim Andresen crashed
over off-tackle for Bethel's only
score.
The remainder of the contest
saw Pillsbury score four more
times, and the ball exchanged
hands frequently.
Although these games played by
the JV don't carry the weight of
the world, they provide valuable
experience for the younger squad
members who see limited action
in varsity games. Also, it gives
the coaches a chance to evaluate
these players for the future.
rely entirely on these attributes,
since he is much smaller than any
other lineman he faces.
This season Greg started as a
defensive lineman, but after sever-al
games was moved over to of-fense.
Greg is still learning this
position; but he has already showed
ability in blocking for the run, and
has been steadily improving his
pass blocking.
Greg is also one of the leading

Dale Saxon led Falcon to a 31-0
romp over Third Old in a battle
for first place last Saturday. Sax-on
ran for touchdowns of 60 and
99 yards and passed to Koopman
for TDs of 10 and 50 yards. King
scored the other TD on a 70 yard
pass interception.
The surprising Faculty beat First
Floor 13 to 0. A 30-yard pass from
Jack Trager to Paul Anrusko plus
the extra point made the score 7
to 0. Trager then passed for a
score to Dale Stephens to put the
game on ice.
In a game between last place
clubs Second Old whitewashed the
still winless New Dorm. Duddles-ton
led Second Old to their first
victory by throwing two 25-yard
TD passes, one to John Wiens and
the other to Wilzewski. He also
intercepted a pass and ran it back
60 yards for a score.
The lowest scoring game of the
day was between Third New and
Pit. Third New took the victory
on a 15-yard pass from Keith An-derson
to Rollie Kingsley.
Second New dealt Off Campus
their first loss of the season by
the score of 13 to 6. Off Campus
scored first on a 17-yard touch-down
pass from Delich to Schmidt.
Hasselblad then threw a 70-yard
pass to Berggren to tie the game.
The same duo clicked for the
extra point which proved to be
the winner. Second New added an-other
TD on a Hasselblad to Nord-mark
pass for 25 yards.
Saxon leads the loop in passing
with 6 scoring passes and three
extra points for a total of 39
points. Hasselblad is second with
20 points. In the regular scoring
department Dan Larson leads with
25 points and Rollie Kingsley has
18 points.
